火 『 Fifteen Flames 』 [VOICE]

[oodzuchi]

--as saying, ma'am, I really didn't--

[ A silence, then the soft shuffling of shoes in sand ]

Hmmm... this certainly isn't America anymore.. Oh! How could I've forgotten! This is the City, right... yes. I remember that particular rock, I used to read there often--

[1/2] Y halo thar, older Rabi <3 Older Exorcist assumptions GET? XD;;

[antiakuma]

...Rabi?

[2/2]

[antiakuma]

Heh, I'm sorry. That should be Bookman, maybe? I don't think I'll ever get used to that, really. Is it rude of me?

eff yes >3 BS 101 STAATO! Rabi's from the roarin' twenties >:

[oodzuchi]

Hahaha, you know the deal. Or maybe you don't yet-- If we can't maintain a professional front for the ladies, I'll continue to call you beansprout.

OH SHI--!! That's just cheating >)

[antiakuma]

I'll do my best, but if you must would it be pushing it to ask to be General Beansprout?

Sexy general Allen would be sexy >:

[oodzuchi]

General Beansprout sounds very respectable, I like it. How've you been, Allen? Even in my time, it's been a while!

It would be ;__; 100% sync ratio is General material. It won't be shocked if it happens

[antiakuma]

Not as respectable as it could be, perhaps. But beggars can not be choosers.

I'm surviving, it seems. Who can ask for anything more in a world such as ours. You say it's been a while in your time? Perhaps then you can tell me what you've been up to to warrant such parting.

Didn't he go over that already? XD Once ther 14th stuff is settled, he prolly will be a general. >:

[oodzuchi]

Haha, that's the truth. And not anything very exciting, just business as usual. I try 'ta stick close around the headquarters, but my obligations lie more with the Bookmen than with the Order at this point in time. I was just arranging travel details across America with a lovely young lady working at the train depot when I ended up here on the beach.

Ever since Gramps passed away... well, it's all me now. With the lull in Akuma activity, I've gone to pick up leads on the Noah. How about you?

He did~ which is why I think that's the next stage. And gaaaah, 14th stuff makes me weep srsly >.<

[antiakuma]

Business as usual for one is a million miles a minute for another, I suppose.

I'm glad to hear that. Why the trip overseas, though? Anything in particular, or are you sworn to secrecy by Bookman code? Considering the numbers of experienced members left it's no surprise you're getting a lot piled on you at the moment.

As for myself... New team. What else can I say? They have a lot of potential... they make me nostalgic, in a strange way.

OMG I KNOW ;_____; the recent chapters make me BAWWWWWW

[oodzuchi]

That's true too-- dunno what Id've done if I was left with a group of young exorcists like you were, hahaha.

Well, just between you and me, though this really should be confidential, but there was a rumor of someone who bore markings like a Noah, so I'm going to investigate. There aren't a whole lot of people left that have ever seen them, really.

With what's been exposed to the public, we've had a few recruits that show some potential as well, but I don't know if things should be handled the way they have been, you know?

Ohh, a new team, hm? Are they anything like we were?

That, and I table-flip but that's another matter completely to be rambled about another day XD;

[antiakuma]

It's not as terrible as it sounds. I'd feel worse if there were under Kanda's charge.

...that sounds rather serious. I believe something like that can not be easily ignored. It does not bode well at all.

I'd ask you keep me posted on that but two things are stopping me.

One, the fact it should be confidential.
Two, apparently we are cursed and this conversation will hold little weight later, I believe.

Still... It does not mean our conversation at present does not hold value, don't you think?

And my new team... Heh, they are everything like us and nothing at all. Does that answer your question?

WE AREN'T ALREADY RAMBLING? Hit me with it, woman. :| Now I'm kurrious.

[oodzuchi]

Hahaha, that would be terrible.

It might've just been some impersonators-- you'd be surprised how popular it is right now for all things illegal and wrong, haha, even if it means putting crosses on your forehead to harrass churches-- but extra precautions and all. And America isn't unpleasant by any means, so I don't mind.

I can certainly make a note to myself and contact you when the curse is over, to see if either of us remember. For all I know, you might not be the exact Allen from my when anyways. It does get lonely not having anyone to talk about these things with! And it isn't like you or Yuu-chan are just anyone, we're practically brothers.

No conversation's without value, General Beansprout! Even mindless banter is still a way to connect, isn't it?

As a matter of fact, it does. I guess so long as there isn't a stubborn grumpy one, they sound pretty nice.
